Alyssa’s Pov:
On Monday in school was nothing else but talk about prom.
The whole news going on that day was all about the prom night coming up on Friday.
Hm. I don’t even have a date to prom. Nobody has asked me out.
Maybe, I might just end up not going after all.
Alexa’s Pov:
“Are you sure she’ll come around?” Aj asked as we stood at the balcony of the second floor, waiting for Alyssa to show up.
“Well, yes. She has to” I replied and took a look at the rubber of paint beside me.
I really can’t wait for her to come so I could carry out my plans on her.
When I’m done with her, she’s going to leave Mico High for sure.
“She’s here!” Jeenly said and I turned and saw her coming from afar.
Hah!
Perfect.
Alyssa’s Pov:
I was on my way to the library, walking under the stairs when something suddenly poured on me.
I gasped as more of it soaked me and immediately, my whole body was covered in thick paint.
The students around me all looked in shock and surprise and I looked up to see whom could have done it and to my surprise, it was Alexa and her friends.
They looked at me and sniggered and I couldn’t even look at them for long because my eyes were beginning to itch.
Why’s this lady so evil?
“Oops! I think you’re going to need a bath” a student passing by said with a little laughter and I felt like weeping.
I turned and headed for the girls hostel so I could take a bath and change.
When I got there, I opened my locker, brought out my towel and changed into it before going into the bathroom.
I turned on the shower and washed my hair and body.
I wonder what Alexa gains from tormenting me this way.
I washed for some time and when the paint was finally out of my body, I tied my towel and left the bathroom.
Then I went to my locker where my clothes were kept but surprisingly, I couldn’t find any.
What the heck?
I looked around and the whole place was really empty.
Where could it be?
But I had remembered keeping them in the locker before going to the bathroom. Why can’t I find them anymore?
Oh, God! I really hope it’s not what I’m thinking.
I looked ahead and wait… isn’t that my cap on the floor?
It was just lying on the floor some distance away from where I was. But how had it gotten there?
I decided to pick it up and when I got to where it was, I saw another belonging of mine some distance away as well.
What the hell is going on?
I started tracing it and noticed bits of my belongings were just being littered on the floor.
How did this happen?
Could it be possible someone was doing to me on purpose?
And I couldn’t think of ignoring it because I had nothing else to wear.
I continued tracing the line until I found the most important parts – my underwears!
Holy Christ!
And it was being pinned to the ceiling.
What in the name of Christ?
I hid behind the wall and looked around with my heart beating fast.
There were a lot of student’s there in the hall, looking at the underwears and I wondered how I’d be able to get to it.
But how did it end up there in the first place? Who could be responsible for this kind of devilish act?
Just then, someone pushed me from behind and I turned in shock to see Alexa and her friends.
Not again.
“Hey, Alyssa; whyre you hiding?” She asked with an evil grin and my heart skipped.
She pushed me again, making me go deeper into the hall and as a result, the attention of all the students in the hall turned to me and they all gasped, seeing me that way.
why’s she looking that way?
where are her clothes?
could she be the owner of these?
oh, my God!
Tears filled my eyes immediately as I had already turned to into a laughing stock.
I looked back at Alexa and she was smiling at me. I should have known this was all her plan.
I bent my head and headed for the underwears.
The ceiling was a bit too high for me and I had to jump but couldn’t get to it.
I jumped again and this time around, my towel almost got losed.
I held it firmly in shock and some of the students busted into laughter while some took pictures and videos with their phones.
I couldn’t control the tears any longer as they finally came running down like rainfall.
“Try harder, Alyssa” Alexa said churlishly and I looked away and sniffed.
Then I tried jumping again but still couldn’t get to it and just then, I noticed a different air filled the room as some of the students gasped.
Oh, my God; it’s Mico!
I heard them say and it resounded in my head.
Wait; did I hear correctly?
I turned to look at him but my vision was too blur as a result of the tears that blinded my eyes.
So, I cleaned my eyes to have a proper look at him but more tears kept streaming down.
Oh, no.
My Mico can’t see me like this.
He was coming with his guards towards my direction and I noticed one of the guards beside him was holding a flower.
Hold on; is he coming to meet me?
He got to where I was and stopped in front of me and my heartbeat increased.
Wh… what does he want to do?
He was putting on a jacket and surprisingly, he took it off and carefully wore it on me.
Huh?
All the students gasped and some almost screamed.
I was gobsmacked.
What was going on?
Then he used his palm to wipe the tears off my face and next, he collected the flowers from his guard and went on his knee.
Oh, God;
This should be a dream.
“Alyssa” he called, proffering the flower out to me.
“Will you be my date to prom?”
